What are the versions of libvirt, qemu, and kernel on your host system? Can you provide the <interface> section of the guest's config? Does this only occur when the guest has IPv6 enabled, and only for an IPv6 ping? What is the packet that is sent? At the beginning of the migration the guest is not running on the destination, and the host has no idea what the guest's IPv6 (or v4) address might be, so it can't send a IPv6 packet on behalf of the guest. The only thing I can think of could be something to do with the link-local address (the fe80:... address that is used for IPv6's discovery and autoconf protocols). -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
